Carvertson, a pop-rock band which was in the process of releasing its second album, issued this statement on its Facebook page:

“On February 7, 2019 we lost our brother, best friend, and bandmate Kyle Yorlets. We are in a state of shock and are having to grasp the reality that is now in front of us. We are heartbroken. Our condolences for his family and loved ones and all the lives that he touched. We will never forget Kyle, and though he is gone too soon his legacy is here to stay.”

He graduated from Carlisle High School in 2013, and was a regular in high school musicals during his years there, including “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Guys and Dolls” and a musical version of “Titanic.” He also was a singer in his own musical endeavors outside of school and a discus and shot-put thrower on the high school track team.

On the band’s Facebook page is this background about Carverton:

“Carverton is an American Pop/Rock band currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee. Carverton was founded by Kyle Yorlets and Michael Curry in the summer of 2014; realizing that their unique sound would fit better in a different setting than central Pennsylvania, the boys set off for Nashville with a couple guitars and goofy grins. Since the 2016 addition of drummer Christian Ferguson and bassist Michael Wiebell, Carverton have travelled the eastern half of the United States spreading the gospel of new-age Rock N Roll.”
